Digital Democracy
LiquidFeedback
LiquidFeedback is a framework for structured discussion and decision making in large groups. As one of the most prominent and best known implementations of liquid democracy, it enables organizations to run credible participation processes at scale. It supports the entire path from developing proposals and weighing arguments for and against them, through considering alternatives, to determining collective preferences by preferential voting. It provides a proven foundation for digital democratic processes in institutional, political, and civic settings.
- Member participation, discussion, and voting
- Digital general assemblies and party conventions
- Consulting, implementation, and organizational integration
Horizon Europe
PERYCLES
PERYCLES is a multidisciplinary research consortium examining how digital platforms can support democratic deliberation and collective decision making in real-world settings. Combining empirical research with applied experimentation, the project draws on established scientific methods and practical experience in the design and implementation of large-scale participatory processes. Its aim is not only to analyze digital participation, but also to implement and evaluate it in concrete institutional and social contexts. The project is funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe framework.
In cooperation with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Birkbeck, University of London, DAEM Athens (Δήμου Αθηναίων Εταιρεία Μηχανογράφησης), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the National Research Council of Italy, the University of Bucharest, and the University of Groningen.
